Changes of State
Chapter 3 Section 2 Physical Science
Question | Answer |
---|---|
Melting | A change in state from a solid to a liquid. |
Melting Point | The specific temperature that melting occurs. |
Freezing | The change of state from liquid to solid. |
Vaporization | The change from a liquid to a gas. |
Evaporation | Vaporization that takes place only on the surface of a liquid. |
Boiling | When a liquid changes to a gas below its surface as well as at surface. |
Boiling Point | The temperature at which a liquid boils. |
Condensation | When particles in a gas lose enough thermal energy to form a liquid. |
Sublimation | The surface particles of a solid gain enough energy that they form a gas. |
What happens to the particles of a liquid as they lose more and more energy? | The particles move more and more slowly. |
How do clouds typically form? | Water vapor in the atmosphere condense into liquid droplets. |
What physical state is skipped during the sublimation of a substance? | The liquid state is skipped. |
What happens to the particles of a solid as it becomes a liquid? | The particles break free from their fixed positions. |
How melts?does the thermal energy of solid water change as it | The thermal energy increases. |
What process occurs as pieces of dry ice gradually get smaller? | The process of sublimation. |
